William Wallace was a Scottish rebel leader in the late 13th century who fought against English rule over Scotland. After the death of Scotland's king left the kingdom without an heir, Edward I of England took control of Scotland and imposed harsh rule. This led Wallace to lead a rebellion against English oppression, culminating in his victory over a large English army at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297. However, Wallace's forces were later defeated at the Battle of Falkirk. He was eventually captured and handed over to the English, who brutally executed him for treason in 1305. His resistance helped inspire further Scottish efforts to gain independence from England.Bessie coleman

In the 1920s, women's fashion and hairstyles changed dramatically. Hemlines rose to the knee, corsets were abandoned, and short bobbed hair became very popular. The "flapper" style emerged, characterized by short skirts, visible stockings, makeup, and short hair. Flappers danced provocatively and smoked and drank in public, challenging social norms. Careers also opened up for women in fashion design, hairdressing, and dance performances like the Rockettes. Broadway and jazz music provided opportunities for women's self-expression and rebellion through dance. Overall, the 1920s saw women gaining newfound independence and social freedoms through fashion, hairstyles, careers, and public behaviors.The Age of Revolution: Latin America

Walter White, the Executive Secretary of the NAACP from 1929-1955, fought to improve portrayals of Black people in Hollywood. In 1942, he negotiated an agreement with major studios to monitor depictions, but it lacked enforcement. While some films made small strides in integration, most stereotypes remained. White faced criticism from some Black actors who felt their roles were threatened, though his goal was expanding opportunities. Though he saw little immediate change, White helped shift Hollywood and lived to see more diverse roles emerge in later years.U.s. history ch 7

Women's roles changed dramatically during World War II as many took jobs in factories while the men were away fighting. Before the war, women were expected to stay home and care for the family, but labor shortages due to the draft led the government to encourage women to enter the workforce. As millions of women took jobs building planes, ships, and other war materials, they proved they were capable of "men's work" and helped win the war through their efforts on the home front. Their contributions helped inspire future feminist movements by expanding women's opportunities outside the home.Samad davenport bwa class presentation

The 1920s saw significant social and economic changes in the United States. Many Americans moved to cities for new job opportunities, doubling the country's wealth between 1920-1929. After World War I ended in 1918, the U.S. experienced a boom with new manufacturing jobs and mass-produced consumer goods like cars, appliances, radios, and washing machines becoming more affordable. However, the stock market crash of 1929 marked the beginning of the Great Depression, a period of high unemployment and economic struggle.Chapter 10 the roaring twenties a decade

The Roaring Twenties saw many social changes in America. Women gained more opportunities through women's suffrage and being elected to political office. They also joined the workforce in greater numbers. Flappers rebelled against traditional norms. African Americans migrated north during the Great Migration, and Harlem became a center of Black culture and arts during the Harlem Renaissance. New forms of popular culture like movies, radio, and sports emerged while literature captured the era.Barnebee.caitlin.arh3631FINAL

The Roaring 20s was a decade of social and economic change in the United States. It was a period of widespread prosperity during a time of mass production and consumerism. However, many groups still faced hardship, as Black Americans struggled under continued poverty and discrimination. The era was also marked by cultural dynamism in music, art, and literature, yet rising nativism and the Red Scare led to increased social tensions.Slave Society

The slave trade was banned in 1808, but the enslaved black population still grew to 4 million by 1860 through reproduction. By then, there were around 250,000 freed blacks mostly in the upper South. Freed blacks faced restrictions on where they could work and live. Abolitionists like Theodore Dwight Weld, William Lloyd Garrison, and David Walker published works condemning slavery and calling for emancipation, while the American Colonization Society unsuccessfully tried to transport blacks to Africa. Southerners defended slavery and said it benefited blacks, while abolitionist speeches in the North angered mobs.Taylor gang1540

Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma was one of the most affluent and prosperous African American communities in the US in the early 1900s. On June 1, 1921, the community was attacked and burned to the ground by a white mob during the Tulsa Race Riot. Over 800 people were hospitalized, an estimated 10,000 were left homeless, and 35 city blocks containing over 1,200 African American residences and businesses were destroyed by fire and bombs dropped from airplanes. The riot left between 1,500-3,000 African Americans dead and resulted in over $1.5 million in property damage with insured losses totaling over $750,000.
